SIugger WeIch Arrested--.Almost
Riot at Baltimore.

BALTIMORE, June 16.-In to-day's
game between the st. Louis and Balti-
more clubs there was an exciting time,
and but for the prompt action of the
police a riot would have resulted. An
immense crowd was present, and after
the Baltimore club had about lost the
game by an error of Burns in the sec
Ond inning and then succeeded in tieing
the score the excitement rose to fever
heat. -Four innings had been played
without man crossing the home plate.
Umpire McQuade had aroused con-
siderable i'll feeling by giving close de-
ciSiOnS against the home team. The
Browns went in for their half of the ninth
inning. One hand was out. Welch while
attempting to steal second was clearly
thrown out, but in order to save himself
deliberately ran out of the base line and
knocked Greenwood off his feet, max
ing him drop the ball. McQuade
declared Welch safe. Then the crowd
hOwled, and while an argument
was going on between the umpire and
players it Swarmed over the wires and
into the field. An extra large police
force happened to be ON hand and they
promptly forced the crowd back, and in
order to allay the excitement arrested
Welch for aSSaulting Greenwood. Man
ager Barney and Capt. COmiSkey saw
that it would not be safe to play the
game out and decided to let it be called
back to the eighth inning and make it
tie game. Welch was taken before
magistrate and released on bail for hear
ing tomorrow at 2p. m. The score at
the end of the game stood eight runs for
each club, and it is probable that ten
innings would have been required to
decide it. McQuade was to blame for
the trouble, which would have been
avoided had he declared Welch out for
obStructing fielder, as he clearly had
right to do. About S,000 people were
present.
LOST BY WILD THROW.
PHILADELPHIA, June 16.-A wild
throw by Reccius in the sixth inning
probably lost tO-day'S game for Cleve

only one genuine hit having been made
off him, but he afterward became de-
moraliZed and was hit rather freely.
The visitors made fifteen genuine hits
Off Atkinson, with total of twenty-fOur
bases. McKean's batting was the feat
ure of the game. Score:
